"Ah Jing, you really don't need me to help at home?" Before Lin Liwei went out, he asked again.

"I really don't need to, don't worry, I'm sure." Lin Jing replied with a smile, "Go quickly, Ah Yan and Sisi are in a hurry." ”

It turned out that as early as a week ago, father Lin Liwei and his younger siblings agreed to go to the Kowloon Playground to play after filming "Five Lucky Stars". I just finished filming last night, and today is the day they go out.

However, Lin Liwei learned that Lin Jing was going to discuss the adaptation of two martial arts novels with representatives of TVB, and wanted to stay to support the scene. In fact, he also knew in his heart that the biggest role of his stay was to sign the contract, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was to support the scene, who made this daughter too capable.

Of course, Lin Jing didn't need her father to stay behind to help, because she knew very well that today's negotiation was only a preliminary contact, and the final result was likely to fail to meet the requirements of both parties.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, the horn of a car sounded outside the courtyard gate.

Lin Jing opened the courtyard door, and two cars rushed in.

"Ah Jing, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I miss death." Liang Yinning got out of the car and immediately hugged Lin Jing.

"You still haven't seen you for a day, like every other autumn?" Lin Jing was not angry and pushed her away, and there were guests next to her.

Of course, it was Mo Ziqi, the general manager of Bookworm Publishing House, who came with Liang Yinning, but what Lin Jing didn't expect was that it was Wang's father and son, known as Wang Tianlin, who was known as the gold medal producer, and his son Wang Jing who came on behalf of TVB.

The two fathers and sons are the kind of directors who don't like to talk about art in movies, think that talking about art is fake, and making movies is to make a lot of money.

Of course, Lin Jing didn't know that Wang Tianlin was of course leading the second task, and Wang Jing was purely here to make soy sauce and take a look at the so-called "beautiful girl writer" in the legend by the way.

Mo Ziqi, as an intermediary, naturally played the role of an introducer.

"Miss Lin, this is Mr. Wang Tianlin of TVB, and this is Mr. Wang Jingwang." After introducing the representatives of TVB to Lin Jing, Mo Ziqi introduced Lin Jing to them again, "This is Miss Lin Jinglin. ”

"You know them?" Liang Yinning was not surprised when he saw Lin Jing's gaze sweeping over the Wang family and his son, so he leaned into her ear and whispered.

"Acquaintance, you know, 'acquaintance'."

"You are really a showman, you don't go out, and you know everything about the world."

After the introduction, Lin Jing invited them into the living room and brought the tea that had been brewed.

"Four, please have tea."

"Thank you!"

Wang Tianlin is a big director of the older generation, and he is one of the big promoters of the vigorous exhibition of wireless dramas, cultivating and digging a large number of stars and directors.

His every move has a calm bearing in it, sitting on the sand is like sitting on a Diaoyutai platform, and the old god is there, which makes people can't see his ideological tendency.

And his son Wang Jing, a generation of commercial film directors in later generations, was still young at this time, although he gradually began to participate in screenwriting, directing and other work in the past two years, but he still seemed relatively immature and frivolous, a pair of small eyes behind brown rubber-rimmed glasses, and he never stopped "scanning" since he got off the car.

"Miss Lin, you must already know the intention of our coming, so please make a price, right?" Wang Tianlin's opening remarks are really white enough, but from what he said, he is full of momentum and has a posture of overwhelming people.

"Mr. Wang, I don't know if you mean "Heroes" or "Kunlun"?" Lin Jing replied with a slight smile.

"Of course, two of them." At this moment, Wang Tianlin felt that this young girl seemed to be a little difficult, and said, "Miss Mo Feilin has no intention of selling the TV series adaptation rights of the two novels together?" ”

"Not really, as long as the conditions are right, there is no problem."

"I don't know what conditions Miss Lin's conditions are suitable?" Wang Tianlin asked in a deep voice.

TVB had earlier purchased the TV series adaptation rights of several of Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and filmed one of them at the beginning of the year, "Dragon Babu", which was very popular, so they actually had the idea of filming the next Jin Yong martial arts drama.

It was only when I saw that two big dark horses that were famous in Hong Kong had recently emerged in the martial arts novel market - "Heroes" and "Kunlun", that I had the idea of adapting these two martial arts novels while the iron was hot.

Moreover, TVB's former competitor Li's TV station was recently acquired by Qiu Degen, and it has made frequent moves recently. Although TVB has never been afraid of this competitor, it cannot watch its opponent rise to the top.

If you don't make a move, then Li, who also takes a fancy to the potential of adapting these two martial arts novels, will definitely make a move. Rather than giving up the opportunity to a competitor, it's better to take advantage of it one step ahead.

This is also the main reason why TVB sent Wang Tianlin.

"I don't know what conditions TVB can come out of?" In fact, Lin Jing is the one who sits firmly in Diaoyutai, because she is not short of money for the time being, and she has no idea of rushing to sell the adaptation rights

Since both Wireless and Lidi have the idea of buying this adaptation right, it is better to sell it at a price, wait for the snipe and clam to compete, and the fisherman will profit.

And even if she fails to sell at the end of the day, she can stay until she has the opportunity in the future and rearrange it herself, after all, she was also a TV series director in her previous life, and even in her previous life, she had preliminary ideas for adapting "Heroes".

She is now in a state of desirelessness and rigidity!

As for Wang Tianlin on the other side, he was secretly frowning at the moment.

He was very unimpressed when he first heard that the author of these two martial arts novels was just a fifteen-year-old girl, and thought that with the name of TVB, he could win the adaptation rights of these two martial arts novels at the smallest cost in a few words, but he didn't expect that after saying a few words, the other party would cunningly seize the initiative in his hands.

However, when he thought of those two novels, especially the "Heroes" that he had read in his spare time, he felt that he was too underestimated.

This little girl is a little too wicked!

After sighing in his heart, he subconsciously glanced at his son sitting next to him, and when he saw that he looked like he was out of the world, he suddenly felt a little angry. It is said that he knows his son more than his father, and he doesn't know what dirty things his son is thinking.

Wang Jingzheng was fascinated, and he didn't know that if he wasn't a guest, he himself would suffer an unwarranted disaster.

"10,000 episodes, this is the highest adaptation fee that TVB can produce, and the adaptation period, we hope it will be ten years." After pondering for a while, Wang Tianlin slightly let go of some of the anger in his heart, sat up a little straighter, and replied.

10,000 episodes, although it is impossible to compare with Jin Yong's martial arts novels, but it is already a good adaptation fee for the vast majority of martial arts novels, even if Li's participation is involved, Lin Jing estimates that it will be up to 20,000 at most.

But now Lidi, who has experienced internal turmoil in personnel, can gather resources to shoot these two martial arts dramas, Lin Jing expressed doubts in her heart.

Among these two martial arts novels, "Kunlun" is relatively easy to shoot, as long as you find a few handsome guys and beauties with some acting skills, it is not difficult to shoot well, and there are countless actors in Wireless at this time who can play "Kunlun" well.

However, "Heroes" is much more difficult, not to mention the huge structure of the rivers and lakes in it, it is more difficult to find actors who can play the true essence of the four protagonists.

What's more, in Lin Jing's mind, she loves "Heroes" more than "Kunlun", and she doesn't want to see some actors who don't match the image of the protagonist in her mind to play the four leading roles.

"The adaptation fee is negotiable, but I want to get the right to choose the actors of the four protagonists of "Heroes"." Lin Jing couldn't help but say, so she took out a note with four names written on it and put it on the table.

The adaptation fee, even if it is increased, is only a few thousand more episodes, compared to this money, Lin Jing hopes to see those actors she likes appear on the screen of the adaptation of "Heroes". It can be said that if she can't grasp the choice of the four protagonists in terms of actors, she would rather give up the adaptation of "Heroes" for the time being, rather than compromise on this issue.

"This can't be!" Wang Tianlin immediately replied before he could read the list on the note, maybe Jin Yong and Gu Long had this power, but he didn't allow a little girl to challenge the authority of wireless.

Even Wang Jing, who had been outside the wandering objects, almost bounced up from the sand at this moment. His reaction was so big because he, like his father Wang Tianlin, thought that this condition was too much.

"This is the bottom line for me to sell the rights to this adaptation, and if you can't agree, it can only be a pity." Lin Jing said categorically.

She believes that wireless can find actors who play the four protagonists of "Heroes" according to their own wishes, and the key is whether they are willing to do it.
